The condition of veteran Gandhian Anna Hazare has bee deteriorating on the 8th day of his fast against corruption.
However, it is believed that Tuesday may be the decisive day of Anna’s Anshan for strong Jan Lokpal Bill. The government is on backfoot following massive support to Anna across the country, and it is expected that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may give influential statement in the Parliament to end the deadlock.
On the other hand, Team Anna member Kiran Bedi has said that Anna’s condition is deteriorating. Anna’s kidney is getting affected due to fast and doctors say that next 24-48 hrs may be dangerous for the veteran activist.
After more than 165 hours of fast, the central government has been bowing before the Team Anna and offered reasoned dialogue over the issue of strong lokpal bill.
The government has given invitation for talks through spiritual leader Shri Shri Ravi Shankar. However, Anna doesn’t want to talk with Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambara because duo had slammed former’s move to sit on dharna.
On Monday, Team Anna suggested few names for the mediators to government.
On the other hand, united Opposition is the biggest worry for the government. The BJP has come out in open support for Anna. Even Lal Krishna Advanai dared Prime Minister to seek fresh mandate as his government has lost faith of the public.
Between all these circumstances, it is expected that Manmohan Singh may give decisive statement in the House on Tuesday, which will help Team Anna to end the Anshan.
According to the sources, Team Anna has said that the matter can be resolved in 24 hours. “There is need for a political dialogue to find the solution. We don’t need informal mediators,” Team Anna said.
If sources are to be believed government has agreed to bring Prime Minister under the ambit of Lokpal. The government version of Lokpal doesn’t include judiciary and prime minister.
The decision was taken in a meeting held at Prime Minister’s residence on Monday night.

I Support Anna Hazare
A 72 year old man,Anna Hazare is observing a fast until death from April 5th,2011 at Jantar Mantar,so that we and our children can lead a better,corrupt free and quality life. Surprisingly,more than 12 lakh people have turned up at Jantar Mantar in support of his fast. They are patiently listening to his speeches, observing “fast” with him, cheering him and supporting the cause. The common elements seen in the supporters,(which comprise of youth,elders,men ,women,children,doctors,students,engineers,housewives etc) are anger,frustration,irritation etc. All are frustrated with the current functioning of government. People are frustrated with the speed at which new scam is cropping up,everyday,which will even override the rate of cropping up of mushrooms. Anger and frustration,bundled up,inside people’s hearts for more than 42 years are now being erupted. They needed an outlet to vent out their irritation,anger and frustration against this corrupt government,officials and politicians. They needed a spark,a podium, a cause.They needed a leader to hold their hand and lead them towards right direction,one movement to be worthy of the fight. They couldn’t have found something,more credible and apt movement,than the one,lead by a ethical and credible leader like Anna Hazare to change the fate and future of India, their own lives and the future of their children,for good.Anna Hazare’s supporters have even shooed away few politicians who had visited Jantar Mantar to have talks with him.
Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari has called Anna Hazare childish. Many politicians are calling this non-violent movement,”blackmail”. CNN IBN and NDTV journos did not miss the opportunity of linking this movement to BJP and RSS,thereby calling Anna Hazare, a RSS man or a person belonging to Sangh Pariwar. Many believe he has been influenced and planted. Many tweeters are expressing their views against him and his movement. Ms Barkha Dutt, who recently had invited Kiran Bedi on her show,fight against corruption, changed tunes and is frantically tweeting hatred against Anna Hazare and his movement. Irony eh? Congress lapdogs like NDTV,CNN IBN are at their best,trying to churn out rubbish,and giving this movement a political twist.
Whether people like it,hate it,criticize it,condemn it or loathe it, Anna Hazare has been trending at #1 spot on twitter since 2 days,with more than 2000 tweets sent in support of Anna Hazare,every 2 seconds! Astonishing ain’t it? Times now is currently in favor of this movement.
What I fail to understand is the same people who sang praises of M.K Gandhi and called him “Father of the nation” when he held “Salt Satyagraha” , “Dandi March”, “Quit India movement” etc, are now condemning and criticizing Anna Hazare when he is following Gandhian footsteps of non violence and fasting until death,to fight corruption. They are calling his “fast”, blackmail. So,by the same yard stick,does Gandhi’s non violent movement also amount to blackmail?
Congress government’s apathy towards this movement is pathetic. Its been second day of fast,but still, neither Sonia Gandhi, nor Manmohan Singh or Prathibha Patil have visited Anna Hazare, or requested him to end the fast or proposed to have talks with him,regarding his fast or movement. If Anna Hazare faces any health issues,due to his fast, will it not prick the conscious of these apathetic people?
Also, if these corrupt people are not in favor of this movement,its fine. But instead of refraining from commenting,they are indulging in defaming,name calling,maligning,criticizing and ridiculing a 72 year old man,who is on fast,not for his own selfish needs,but for the future of India.
Lately,PM Manmohan Singh had falsely accused Anna Hazare for not having sane and calm talks with him, to solve this issue. But,Anna Hazare has denied and proved ALL those allegations wrong by writing this 5 point letter to Manmohan Singh.
Previously, Mr Sharad Pawar was appointed as the head of “government of ministers” to frame the lokpal bill. But,Anna Hazare criticized and questioned this decision of electing a corrupt minister, like Sharad Pawar to head a committee, designed towards forming a bill against corruption. The first achievement of Anna Hazare movement is “Resignation of Sharad Pawar” following this criticism.
Also,Bollywood celebrities like Aamir Khan,Diya Mirza,Juhi Chawla,Anupam Kher,Purab Kohli,Priyanka Chopra,etc have rendered support of Anna Hazare through their tweets,and also,pleading their followers to follow suit.
Do you ever lament,for not being part of freedom struggle, lead by Mahatma Gandhi? You can definitely compensate for it,by rendering your support to Anna Hazare’s movement. The only difference is Gandhi fought against Britishers,but Anna Hazare is fighting against pseudo-Gandhis and the corrupt system.
